Barefoot and in the Kitchen: Vegan Recipes for You

This heavily illustrated vegan cookbook
is packed with delicious recipes and entertaining essays. Not at all
an exclusive affair, Barefoot and in the Kitchen works with
ingredients available to folks everywhere—not just those with
access to fancy health food stores. Make a basic white sauce, your
own seitan, mac'n'cheese, cornbread, and cookies. Folks who have been
vegan for awhile will love variations like stuffed shells, dirty
rice, and "Cinnamon Buns of Doom." For Ashley resistance is
tasty and once you try out these recipes your resistance will taste
good too!

The recipe for Mac and Cheese with a cashew sauce...was delicious, like pretty much everything in this vegan cookbook! And I'm not vegan.This will prove to be a handy resource for anybody interested in new, interesting recipes.

"it's a good one. Super easy to follow recipes use ingredients that you can find at any grocery."

"What is really great about "Barefoot and in the Kitchen" is not only the easy and delicious recipes for homemade vegan foods, but also the encouraging notes of introduction to each recipe as well as the overall positive, empowering attitude of the delightfully witty author"

An easy-to-follow cookbook that seeks to demystify veganism and make it more palatable to the public. Mission accomplished.

Barefoot And In The Kitchen is as approachable as it is thorough: up front about reinforcing kitchen fundamentals, unafraid of refreshing twists on staple dishes, and on the lookout for variety, contrast, and invention. This is the cookbook I wish I’d had for a decade of weeknight dinners when I feared I’d exhausted all my options.
